Excerpt from University of Ottawa Review, 1913-1914, Vol. 16 The last named season is the one most dear to me. All other seasons have attractions that make me sometimes long for them, but too often certain features make them repulsive. Winter's cold is very severe, and who would say that the months of March and April, with their cold rains and raw winds, are pleasant ones? Summer no doubt is very attractive, but the sweltering heat of July and August too often brings a feeling of oppression. Autumn provides a happy medium to these extremes. It is the evening of the year, a period of calm before the stern approach of winter. No mistake can be made as to the time of year Autumn is ushered in. September, October and November were the months that our kind teachers of the Primary classes tried to make us believe made up that season, but they, although geographically right, were in reality wrong. That Fall creeps in on us during the last fortnight of August, and leaves us when the cold November skies, overhung with dreary clouds, tell us that winter has arrived. We know well just when the first day of Autumn comes, and mark with regret the disappearance of its peaceful smile in Novem ber's gloom.
